Double bucket list, anyone?
Icelandair, meet world. World, meet Icelandair. Now that you’re acquainted, Icelandair is the airline that’s got £239 round trip tickets to the big apple – that’s New York City, that’s also throwing in free side trips to Iceland. If that sounds like heaven in a bottle, you’re in the right place, because we’ve got everything you need to know to book one of these awesome flight deals, which still include free seating assignments and other little trip perks…
The Deal
All Icelandair flights come with free drinks and seat assignments, and though checked bags would cost extra, a generous carry on and personal item policy makes this a pretty easy airline to travel carry on only. For £239, you can score round trip flights from London to New York City, and since all flights go via Iceland, you can add a free stopover up to three nights long in either or both directions. Of course, the hotels are on you, but the fact that you’re able to lock in NYC and Iceland with just £239 is pretty darn cool.
